Two new REL - West reports (Nevada & California)

The National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance within the Institute of Education Sciences released two new reports from REL West today. The first of these reports, "Examining the Links between Grade 12 Mathematics and Remedial Courses in Nevada Public Colleges and Universities," analyzes remediation rates by students' highest grade 12 mathematics course level and grade point average, and by various student and school characteristics.

The second report, "Trends in California Teacher Demand: A Country and Regional Perspective," highlights the differences among California's counties and regions in their use of under prepared teachers and needs for new teachers in the coming decade, as driven by projected student enrollment changes and teacher retirements. The findings show county and regional variations in key factors that influence teacher labor markets.
